5 Centimeters Per Second

Love can move at the speed of terminal velocity, but as award-winning director Makoto Shinkai reveals in his latest manga comic, it can only be shared and embraced by those who refuse to see it stop. 5 Centimeters Per Second is a faithful adaptation of one of Shinkai's most recognised works, a powerful and timeless manga romance. Originally available only as a two-volume series, this single 560 page omnibus better replicates the pace and feel of the original film.

I love this story, one of the best I've seen from shinkai. I love how Shinkai makes the reader face the reality of what it means when you grow up and how we often failed to grasp what really matters in our lives.
